AL JAZEERA????

OUR FAMILY NEVER, EVER, THOUGHT WE WOULD LISTEN TO AL JAZEERA BRINGING OUR CURRENT NEWS. NEVER IN A LIFETIME. WELL, **** HAPPENS (ONE OF OUR FAVORITE BUMPER STICKERS).REALLY, THE ONLY NEWS YOU MAY HAVE RECEIVED CAME OUT OF AL JAZEERA. A NEWS CHANNEL WE NEVER THOUGHT YOU AND MINE WOULD HAVE RECEIVED OUR BREAKING, LATEST NEWS. BUT, IT HAPPENED. MY SON TUNED IN AL JAZEERA ON THE COMPUTER AND WE ALL LISTENED TO THE LATEST AND GREATEST, ABOUT EGYPT. A REVOLUTION BEFORE OUR VERY EYES ABOUT UNEMPLOYMENT AND A LACK OF FOOD. EVEN THOUGH WE HAD STUDIED THIS SUBJECT AND HEARD THE YOUTH WOULD BRING ABOUT THE REVOLUTIONS BECAUSE OF A LACK OF JOBS -- TRULY SOBERING NEWS. A REAL LIFE REVOLUTION AND "PEOPLE POWER" TO THE MAX. AL JAZEERA WAS THE ONLY TV ON THE GROUND, BRINGING YOU, AND OURS, THE LATEST, GREATEST AND CURRENT NEWS.WAS THERE A LESSON IN IT TO ALL OF US? MAYBE. WE (OUR GENERATION) HAVE NEVER SEEN A REVOLUTION UP FRONT AND PERSONAL. WE HAVE READ WHERE THE YOUTH OF OTHER COUNTRIES, AND OURS, WILL BRING THIS "UNEMPLOYMENT, LACK OF (FOOD) WHATEVER TO THE FRONT". BUT, BY GOSH, IT HAPPENED BEFORE OUR EYES. NO JOBS, LACK OF FOOD, ETC.BACK TO NEW ALBANY, INDIANA. WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL ISSUES BREAK CONCERNING THE PARKS DEPARTMENT, THE CANDIDATE WHO WILL RUN FOR MAYOR, WHICH CANDIDATE WILL RUN FOR COUNCIL, PARKING TICKETS (WHICH CAN NOT EQUAL SEWER BILL PAST DUES (WHERE BENEDETTI SWEARS IS NOT PUBLIC INFORMATION), AND PARKING TICKETS. IT IS WHAT IT IS. AND, WHAT ELSE IS NEW IN NEW ALBANY -- LACK OF ENFORCEMENT. WHAT WITH RENTALS, SEWERS, PARKING, AND CODE ENFORCEMENT (BLAH, BLAH, BLAH). NOTHING NEW EXCEPT A NEW DAY (UNFORTUNATELY FOR TAXPAYERS). OH, AND DON'T LET US FORGET THE S. ELLEN AND JONES NEIGHBORHOOD AND HOW MUCH THIS REMINDS US OF THE OTHER FIASCO WITH SAME PEOPLE IN CHARGE. ISN'T THAT A MIND BENDER?MY ELDEST SON TAUGHT ME A LOT THIS PAST WEEK, TURNING THE COMPUTER ON AND LISTENING TO AL JAZEERA. ANY OF YOU AS TO WHAT THE U.S.A. MAY BE FACING (OR NEW ALBANY -- JOKE, JOKE)? CURIOUS TO SAY, AT THE LEAST!BRING IT ON, BUT LET US KEEP IT CIVIL. AMEN.

The Egyptian government has banned AlJazeera's Arabic language service from broadcasting, because it goes out to the rest of the Arab world. The English-language service is not being suppressed, enabling us to watch.

I notice how all those so called progressive never have much to say when mismanagement is disclosed. Tribune has reported about unpaid parking tickets not being enforced and unpaid sewer bills yet no word out of them self-proclaimed progressives. Not even show me the PROOF! Well you got the PROOF now and it's straight from your good ole buddy Suddeath. I think it is clear to say that certain people have been right on track with what they have been writing and telling us for a long time now. They take the time to do their homework. Glad to see the Tribune is finally learning how to obtain this type of information and actually reporting it.

Internet blocked. Mobile phones blocked (though they are back up). You have to save a satellite source in order to be on the internet.

Israel has pulled Al Jazeeras license and kicked them out also.

Scary, and at the same time, fascinating. This makes you wonder about governments who have been meeting before this happened trying to regulate the internet, including ours. According to tech writings, our (:)) internet will not be the same within a year.

Many people around the world upset the United States was able to go after WIKILEAK sites without a warrant. (in another country)

Did anyone see 41 today? They're looking for Shane and wanting to know how come he's not going after parking tickets. His secretary told 41 he was not available to comment. And they ended up at Atty. Bearsley's office and they would not let 41 in.

Clere's got too much class to say that to Gibson. I heard that Gibson really did go to congratulate Ed on his win, but that he does nothing but complain about him around town and online. Wonder if Clere knows the kind of crap Gibson says.

Now, what about these parking tickets. Is it going to be on the news tonight?

Gibson said crap about Clere on the campaign trail. Made up crap. Came to my house and said it and I challenged him on it. You could tell he wanted the ground to open up and swallow him up so he could get away.

This whole thing (Stumler) has a bad smell to it. The fact of the matter is that many of our cummunity's proven, long-time leaders are pushing this issue. In my opinion. The final decision rest with the voters. Who even wants Gibson back for City Attorney.

Shane wouldn't do his job even if we did have a city court. He doesn't do his job at all now. Look at the mess we're in. Did you see the news? Shane's on-the-job laziness is the most noticeable thing about him. It's ridiculous and it's an expense we could do without. Gibson is an embarrassment to NA, though he's not the first. I've talked with lawyers who say they simply give a knowing smile and then talk to Gibson like they would any child.

No one in New Albany ought to be making $600,000. You sure that's right?

it's not true. it's also not true that shane makes a $150,000 salary. non-employees do not get salaries. shane is not an employee. shane is an independent contractor. shane's law firm gets $150,000 a year to represent the city. but shane doesn't keep half that. shane must pay his own expenses and self-employment taxes with that. i bet his take home is way under $100,000. that's no more than most attorneys in area make.

face it. you have no idea what shane's contract says, do you? you have no idea what expenses he has to pay out of his own pocket. a lot of those expenses the city would have to pay if he were an employee and not an independent contractor. splitting hairs, no. correctly someone who is wrong on the facts, yes.

get a copy of his contract. he doesnt get paid extra for bonds. i know you won't do it. slander is easier than research.

8:42 you are wrong several of us have his contract and Gibson let it slip at a recent council meeting that he also gets city healthcare. Just ask any council member. I heard it I was sitting right there.

So put that in your pipe and smoke it along with what ever else your smoking.

$150,000 salaryCommission off the bondsContractual fees off of DVD Store, fees off of Georgetown deal where Shane, Carl and Doug England cut a deal and screw us ratepayers out of the $450,000 owed and they collected $25,000. He worked out the deal with the three attorneys over the monies owed to them.

I just heard Stemler is going to back out of his run for mayor and Carl M. will run in his place. Seems like England made another bad decision. He's only running to save his and Gibson's big paying job too.Randy Smith is also running against Diane B.I have a question for the Tribune will they do a spread on others who run as well?

you have a very active imagination. what makes you think shane made a penny off g-town deal or DVD suit. lawyers cannot bill hourly or take 1/3 cut when they're already paid a retainer for the same work.

I've got my copy. There's no one page where it says that, but it's still there. Can't you add? Gibson's raking it away. That explains how he had it so readily when he decided to pay his delinquent bill!
